Welcome to our 10th #capturingtheday roundup! How unbelievable is that?! Our little Instagram community is growing every week and we have hit the 10 week mark in style, pushing over the 2000 images tagged! Thank you so much to all the wonderful bloggers who have joined in and helped make it a success. Myself and Yvonne were so worried nobody would want to join us but we needn’t have, you’ve all been wonderful.

My week has gone by in the blink of an eye again.

I’ve been busy helping with things for the school chirstmas fair, blogging, sorting odds and sods at home, I had my eldest one home on Monday because he was a bit poorly and then yesterday I put my big girl pants on and went to my first blogging conference called, BlogFest. It’s run by Mumsnet and consisted of lots of different inspiring speakers and strong, intelligent women.

My highlights were watching The Scummy Mummies, the wonderful Davina McCall, who totally winged her speech but was absolutely brilliant, and Jess Phillips MP – who I think I have a bit of a girl crush on. She was one of the funniest, outspoken and no-nonsense talking people, let alone MP’s, that I’ve ever come across. If you’re on twitter, do follow her, she comes out with some real pearls of wisdom on there!

My personal favourite photo this week is this one.

Ben, my todder, made this Poppy at pre-school this week. It was such a wonderful thing to do to help the little ones understand and learn.

“At the going down of the sun, and the morning, we shall remember them”.

So, on to my 4 choices this week.

As always, it’s such a tough job to whittle it down to just 4 images, but I have gone with these ones this week…

“Jumping up and down in muddy puddles on a misty morning, a trip to the sweet shop for a little chap who has been a bit poorly of late (get well soon Harry!), a gorgeous craft for remembrance day by a little lad and a beautiful little angel…”

My name is Gemma, I'm a married mum to 3 feral boys & I'm the one who writes this drivel. I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog where you'll find cocktail & baking recipes, parenting rants, crafts & day out ideas.

So sit back, grab a G&T, hide in the loo for some peace and quiet and enjoy...
